IoTech Solutions and CREDIT Sweep the World's Invention Stages in 2026

Building on the momentum of their breakthrough 2025, IoTech Solutions and its research partner CREDIT at Asia Pacific University have turned 2026 into a truly golden year, sweeping six international invention competitions across four continents with their two flagship platforms—ARIVAAN MediGuard, an autonomous medical-screening system that combines non-contact multi-modal sensing with a multilingual agentic clinical AI pipeline to bring first-line screening and triage to underserved and remote communities where doctors are scarce, and MultiSentinel SwarmGuard AGT, an AI-powered autonomous mobile robot platform for industrial inspection and monitoring that leverages edge AI and multi-domain sensing to deliver continuous intelligent surveillance of critical infrastructure—and together, these platforms have carried Malaysian deeptech to the top of the podium with remarkable consistency, earning Gold at EUREKA International Brussels 2026 in Belgium along with three special awards.

The international success continued with Gold plus three special awards at the World Genius Convention in Tokyo, Gold with two special awards at DIS Expo in Dubai, Gold and the Best International Invention title at IDEA-EXPO in Hungary.

Gold with three special awards at EUROINVENT in Romania, and yet another Gold with three special awards at INTARG 2026 in Katowice, Poland, bringing the total to six international gold medals and more than five special awards from organisations across the globe, while back home the IoTech–CREDIT portfolio also dominated Malaysian showcases with golds at MIIX 2026 for both platforms and additional gold and silver medals at IIDC 2026 across multiple advanced robotics and AI projects.

These extraordinary results are no accident but rather the product of a deliberate and effective model where world-class research conducted at CREDIT—enriched by student innovation and academic depth—is translated into deployable, commercial-ready systems by IoTech Solutions through an APU-owns, IoTech-exclusive-licence framework that moves innovation from the lab to the field with engineering discipline and commercial focus, and as Prof. Vinesh Thiruchelvam and the team have consistently demonstrated, research-grade robotics and AI built in Malaysia can not only compete but triumph on any global stage, cementing 2026 as the year that Malaysian deeptech truly arrived, with ARIVAAN MediGuard and MultiSentinel SwarmGuard AGT now poised to move from competition podiums into real-world deployment, carrying forward the mission of turning rigorous, problem-first research into technology that makes a tangible difference in healthcare, safety, and industrial resilience around the world.
